The potential advantages of multi-phase

solutions over the conventional 3-phase ones have been

widely discussed in the literature. Their feasibilities and

performances have been recently described and proven.

The main goal of this paper is to design and implement a

test rig to uate control policies for a double-3-phase

induction motor drive, a multiphase drive with an

increasing interest in ship propulsion, locomotive traction

or electrical vehicles (EV) applications.-The potential advantages of multi-phase
